Cinnamon Baked Pears

For any day you want a quick dessert that doesn’t require a hundred ingredients, try these easy baked pears. All you need is a few pears and a couple pantry staples, and you’ve got yourself a warm delicious dessert. If you don’t have pears on hand, use apples.

Serves 4

• 4 ripe Bartlett pears, halved and cored
• 2 tablespoons melted Ghee or clarified butter
• 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Coconut Whipped Cream, for serving (optional)
• ¼ cup pistachios, crushed

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the halved pears cut side up in a baking dish. Drizzle the ghee over the pears and sprinkle evenly with the coconut sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 30 minutes, until the pears are easily pierced with a fork.

Serve warm with whipped cream, if you like, and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
